Technical - What is Uplinking ?

Uplinking refers to the transmission of a signal via a satellite from one terrestrial location to another location and then ultimately the signal can be distributed to the end users.

What is the role of uplinking in the entertainment sector?
In broadcasting, broadcasters use uplinking to beam their programmes to their viewers across countries. Typically, they hire the services of a transponder or a transponder itself that will be used to beam the broadcaster’s programmes to the receiving country.

What is the Indian policy on uplinking?
Till some time ago, there were restrictions on uplinking from India. In July 2000, the government liberalised uplinking and allowed Indian companies to set up their own teleports to uplink directly from India. Television channels were also allowed uplinking facilities. The foreign equity holding of such companies should not exceed 49%.
